PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS,

PREFACE.
THe subject of the 2nd volume of the Catalogue of Lepidoptera
Phalene is the family Arctiade, of which 1217 species belonging
to the subfamilies Nolinw and Lithosiane are here dealt with,
leaving the least specialized ssubfamily—the Arctiaie—to be
classified in the 3rd volume.
I have to thank all those mentioned in the Ist volume who, by
the loan of material, have again assisted Sir George Hampson in
the preparation of this volume; also Herr G. Semper, of Altona,
for the loan of species described by him in his Lepidoptera of the
Philippines; Dr. J. F. M. Heylaerts, of Breda, for species described
from the Malayan subregion; Dr. A. J. Turner, of Brisbane, and
Oswald Lower, Esq., of Broken Hill, N. 8. Wales, for species from
Australia. I have great pleasure in acknowledging the assistance
given to Sir George Hampson’s undertaking by the Secretary of
State for India, who has granted the use of all the blocks and
drawings made in preparing the volumes on Moths in the Fauna of
India series; this loan will materially lessen the cost of each volume
of the Catalogue.

OF
LEPIDOPTERA PHALEN &.
Family ARCTIADZ.
Proboscis usually well developed, sometimes aborted ; palpi usually
short, sometimes long and porrect or upturned ; antenne ciliated or
bipectinate ; tibix with the spurs usually short or moderate. Fore
wing with vein la forming a fork with 16, le absent; 5 from
below angle of discocellulars or coincident with 4. Hind wing with
veins 1 a& b present, Le absent; 5 from below angle of discocellulars
or coincident with 4; 8 coincident with the upper margin of cell
to near or to well beyond middle, sometimes to beyond upper angle ;
frenulum present ; retinaculam almost always bar-shaped.
A family of Moths of small to large size derived from the
Noctuidae, from which they may be distinguished by vein 8 of the
hind wing being coincident with the upper margin of the cell from
base, instead of arising free and then more or less strongly anasto-
mosing with the cell. In some species of Auwtomolis vein 8 is
coincident with the cell to beyond the upper angle in the males,
whilst in some specimens of varions species of Hucercon, near the
point of origin of the family Syntomide, vein 8 is sometimes absent,
or partially aborted, or replaced by two or three spurs between the
cell and costa.
The family is divided into three subfamilies, the Noline, Litho-
siane, and Arctiane ; the first two have the ocelli absent, the Noline
having tufts of raised scales in the cell of fore wing at base, middle,
and extremity, whilst in the lowest subfamily, the Arctiane, the
ocelli are present, as in their ancestors among the Noctwide.
The larvae of the Arctiade have a similar arrangement of the
warts and tufts of hair to that described and figured in the Syntomide,
Vol. I. p. 22; but in the subfamily Noline the Ist pair of prolegs
on somite 6 are absent: they usually feed exposed, forming a cocoon

of silk and hair, the pupa also being similar to that of the Syntomide.
Three groups of genera have usually been placed in the Arctiade
which should have been referred to other families—Wyctemera and
its allies in the Old World, and Pericopis and allies in the Neo-
tropical region, have vein 8 of the hind wing separate from the cell
and connected with it by a bar, and should be placed in the Hypside ;
whilst Sarrothripa and the allied genera, which have been asso-
ciated with the Nolin, are better placed as a parallel development
in the Noctuide, having the ocelli present, vein 8 of the hind wing
free at extreme base, and the larvee having the prolegs on somite 6
present ; and thirdly, Harias, Halias, and allies should also be
placed in the Noctuide, having the ocelli present and vein 8 arising
free.

Proboscis usually fully developed, sometimes aborted; palpi

triangularly scaled ; frons and basal joint of antenne usually with
tufts of scales; tibiee with the spurs long. Fore wing with tufts of
raised scales in cell, near base, at middle and at upper angle. Hind
wing with vein 8 coincident with the cell to near or beyond middle.

Larva with tufts of hair; without prolegs on somite 6; forming

food-plant ; sometimes feeding in webs, whilst in Celama internella
the larva feeds in the interior of the young fleshy shoots of 2ubus,
but has retained its bright coloration and tufts of hair and forms a
boat-shaped cocoon in the open, so that the habit of internal feeding
must be of very recent acquirement.
The Noline probably arose from a very early Arctian form which
had affinities in the Noctwide to Hypena and Sarrothripa, both of
which have raised tufts of scales in the cell of fore wing—the former
having the prolegs on somite 6 of the larva absent as in many other
Noctuidae, whilst the latter forms a boat-shaped cocoon exactly like’
that of the Nolin, and also has the bar-shaped retinaculum, both
of which characters occur in the group of Noctuid genera comprising
Earias, Halias, Carea, and allies.
Of the genera of Nolinw, Pexinola and Melaleucta represent
terminal developments from archaic forms, whilst Archinola with
large triangularly-scaled maxillary palpi, these being invisible in
the other genera, represents probably the form nearest to the
ancestor of the other recent genera, which are all closely allied.

the head are attached to a long tuft of hair projecting forward

of skins present. Full-grown larva snow-white, covered with a
down-like detachable substance with slight creamy tinge below ;
the hairs white, except five or six long b!ack hairs on thoracic
somites ; head buff marked with brown strizw ; a dorsal black mark
on Ist somite, partly hidden by the tuft which after the last moult
bears five head- skins. The larva progresses with a jerky motion.
It forms a boat-shaped cocoon by biting off pieces of rotten wood
and bark and interlacing them with the long hairs which are left
projecting; before fastening down the flap of cocoon it rubs its
head against it for a long time, and with much difficulty detaches
the tuft and head-skins ang attaches them to the side of cocoon.

Subfamily LITHOSIAN A.
Proboscis usually well developed, but often aborted ; palpi
usually short and porrect, sometimes reaching well beyond the
frons, often upturned, rarely reaching above vertex of head; antennz
of male usually with bristles and cilia, often bipectinate, sometimes
dilated or with tuft of scales on upperside of shaft; ocelli absent ;
tibie with the spurs usually moderate, sometimes long or absent.
Fore wing typically long and narrow, but in a large section short and
broad, the narrow-winged genera having vein 5, and often vein 4,
absent. Hind wing with vein 8 coincident with the cell from base
to one-third or to near end of cell.
The more generalized forms of Lithosiane have a very slightly
moditied venation in the fore wing; in Diduga all the veins arising
trom the cell except 7, 8; and the subfamily probably has its
origin in an early Arctid form which was related to Acontia and its
allies in the Noctuidae.
The normal evolution of the venation seems to have been that 7,
8 and 9, 10 should become stalked, that 9 should then anastomose
with 8 to form an areole, which in most of the genera has dis-
appeared by reduction, leaving vein 9 stalked with 7, 8; in the
genus Jlema especially the areole being often either present or
absent in different specimens of the same species.
The genus Banasa presents in the male a most extraordinary
modification of the hind wing, which is probably unique in the
Lepidoptera, the whole wing being reduced to a minute lobe below
the base of the fore wing, except the inner area, which is largely
developed, appearing at first sight hke a normal hind wing, but in
reality rotated at base, the upperside becoming the functional
underside and the inner margin the functional costa.
The Lithosiane as a group present great variety of s ructure as
Fig. 25.—Larva of Philagria entella. }. (From Moths Ind. vol. ii.)
regards both venation and secondary sexual characters, so that the
genera and sections of genera are very numerous.
Some of the most generalized forms seem to be Hemonia, Tro-
pacme, and the genera allied to Nudaria; whilst another gene-
ralized form Castulo, with veins 7, 8 and 9, 10 stalked, seems
